Solving the Rodrigo mystery remained one of Marcelo Bielsa’s outstanding tasks when he was sacked at Leeds United, so it’s no surprise Jesse Marsch has the same problem to address.
The most expensive footballer in the club’s history burned brightly as a striker in the latter weeks of last season, but generally, since his arrival, injury and tactical issues have plagued his consistency.
Rodrigo was originally signed as a striker to compete with Patrick Bamford, but the latter’s form and the former’s versatility saw Bielsa play him mainly as an attacking central midfielder.
